our area, since he is a native of
Blyth. where his parents still
BROCK VODDEN
reside. When he came to Sea -
forth, it was just like moving
home.
Mr. Vodden received his pub-
lic school education in Blyth
and graduated from the Clinton
Collegiate, He took the Gen-
eral Arts course at the Univers-
ity of Toronto and received his
B.A. in 1956, While he was In
university he majored in his-
tory, but enjoyed philosophy
and English most. The follow-
ing year he attended teachers'
college in Toronto and secured
his teacher's certificate.
Mr.•dVodden began his teach-
ing career in a Scarborough

ed for two years. Next, he join-
ed the staff of the Sanford pub-
lic school (Sanford is a suburb
of Niagara Falls). In both these
schools he taught drama and
English.

and has a son, John.
He is very interested in exa-
curricular activities, and iS di-
rector of the Drama Club, pian-
ist of the Glee Club, and super-
visor of The Chatterbox.
When I questioned him about
his hobbies, he replied that he
did not have much time for
them, but did enjoy reading.
His favorite types of books are
history, poetry and plays, and
some classics.
WRITER SUGGESTS DENTISTRY
AS A PROFESSIONAL CAREER
(By Joyce Brown)
Are you interested in dentis-
try, or had you thought of be-
coming a dentist? This, I hope,
will enlighten your views on
this profession.
Would you be a good dentist?
Here are some qualities a good
dentist should possess: Intelli-
gence, integrity, honesty, good
judgment, sense of moral obli-
gation, sympathy, pleasing per-
sonality and, last but certainly
not least, good health.
Opportunities: As one of the
leading health professions, den-
tistry offers many different op-
portunities. The majority of
dentists are in private practise,
but many -are limited to one
type of dental care.
Increasing Government par-
ticipation in health services may
mean more salaried opportuni-
ties for dentists. There are also
positions in the armed services
for dentists for those of you
who are interested.
There is a very great demand
for dentists, as there was in
1957 only one dentist for every
3,000 citizens. There is no pro-
fession in which the opportuni-
ties are greater or the demand
more acute than in dentistry.
Opportunities For Girls
Boys aren't the only ones in-
terdsted in dentistry, as is prov-
en by statistics from Scandina-
via, where 80 per cent of the
dentists are women. Don't feel
embarrassed, girls, if this is
your profession -to -be.
Now come the requirements.
These are mainly the sciences,
of which the main ones are phy-
ics, chemistry and biology.
Degree: The degrees which
one can receive are: Doctor of
Dental Surgery (DDS), or Doc-
tor of Dental Medicine (DDM).
Cost is also of great impor-
tance. In 1957, the average cost
of a dental course was about
$825.00 per year, and room and
board averaging about $700 per
year. If you live at home, this
reduces the cost considerably.
The phases of dentistry are
many and involved; therefore, I
will not discuss these points,
except that there are many di-
visions.
Income is what most people
are interested in. By„and large,
the average income of a dentist
ranges from $7,000 to $13,000

A STRANGER TO THE
SHORE—Kenneth Dodson.
Kurt Maeller, a young ship's
carpenter, becomes involved
with the Nazi underground in
Chile while on shore leave. His
subsequent involvement with a
Iovely young woman leads to a
situation in which Kurt must
kill a man in self-defence.
Suspense and action create a
fast-moving story guaranteed to
intrigue the reader until he has
finished the last page.

Let's read a little about an-
other "Florence Nightingale".
This is the heart-warming story

by red people And white, but

per year.
Advantages are many. A den-
tist has independence, prestige,
satisfaction and a good income.
The main disadvantages are ex-
penses, cost' of education and
one's time, but these are really
compensated for by the advant-
ages.
The right to use the initials,
D.D.S. or D.N.D. after your
name is not earned easily. Time,
money and serious study are all
required. But for those possess-
ing suitable qualifications, the
profession of dentistry can be
a most revirrding career.

tists in order to provide the
amount of dental health care
needed in this country, .�
Girls' Sports
(By Linda Papple)
The girls of our school would
like to welcome Miss Slavin,
our new Physical Edue'i'i`ion
teacher.
Something quite different for
the girls of SDHS this year is
playing soccer. Now that Grades
9, 10, 11 and 12 have learned
the fundamentals, there have
been some lively games in the
outside classes.
Volleyball is always a favor-
ite among students. The senior
and junior teams have been
selected and practices are held
Tuesday and Thursday noon
and Monday after four.
The members of the senior
team are: Pam Stapleton, hIarg
Stapleton, Geraldine Dennis,
Geraldine McTaggart, Linda
Cornell, Marg Elliott, Phyllis
Bryans, Joan Pryce, Elsie Doig
and Cathy Eckert.
The junior squadron this year
includes: Meta Reeves, Roba
Doig, Joyce Storey, Grace
Stephenson, Wendy Moore, Barb
Turnbull, Cheryl Moore, Mary
Jenn McLean, Darlene Sills,
Terry Vanderhoek, Pam Powell
and Julene Elliott.
Once again the entire student
body has been divided into col-
or teams. The catpains for this
year are:
Gold—Pam Stapleton
White—Marg Stapleton
Black—Geraldine McTaggart
Red—Carolyn Hammond.
Color teams apply to all in-
termural sport s. Academic
standing is also considered.
Points are designated for the
various events. At the end of
the year the points are totalled
to see which team has had the
best standing throughout the
year.
STUDENT PROFILE
(By Bruce Miller)
One of the shorter members
of our senior basketball team
was chosen as the subject for
the Grade XIII Student's Profile
this time.
Dark blond and solidly built,
this young fellow is one of the
sources that supplies that ever -
ready joke. Always ready with
a smile on the gloomiest of
days, he is popular with both
the girls and the boys, for ev-
eryone enjoys a bit of humor.
His popularity gained him the
position of CIass Representa-
tive for Grade XIII this year,
as well as a place on the com-
mittee that thought up the hum-
orous stunts for initiation.

ALL ABOUT FOOTBALL Band Is Big Hit
(By Gisela Helbig)
No doubt an inexperienced
girl watching our football team
scrambling around the field gets
an idea that the game goes
something like this: Both teams
run aimlessly around, playing
with the ball. Suddenly every-
one piles up on the ball -carrier.
After he is carried away, it
starts all over again. Sometimes
one man gets away with the
ball and starts running because
he doesn't want to be piled up
on. Then everybody cheers.
Occasionally a fellow in a prison -
type shirt jumps up and down
and starts making signs, which
nobody understands.
Rugby originated at Rugby
School in 1823. The score was
0 to 0 in a soccer game, with
seconds left to play. Finally
EIlis picked up the ball and ran
across the goal -line with it.
That was the first touch -down in
history. Football, as we know
it, fs a modified version of rug-
by
The objective of the game is
to get the ball across the other
team's goal line. When a team
has possession of the ball, it
is called the offensive team;
the other is called the defen-
sive team. There is usually a
different set of offensive play-
ers a nd defensive players.
When a team has the ball, it
has three chances to advance,
the ball ten yards towards the
enemy's goal. If it fails to do
this the other team gets the
bat 8 Each chance is called a
do n. "Second down and three
yar s to go" means that the
team has advanced seven yards
on its first chance, and must
advance three more yards in
An Invitation To
Meet Grad' Nine
(By Bonnie Uhler)
All hail to two class Reps !
Who is she? That pretty
blue-eyed blonde with the win-
ning smile. I'll give you some
clues, She is 9 -C's class repres-
entative in the Students' Coun-
cil. This fair maiden is lucky
enough to have her father
teaching here at SDHS. When
she was asked how school
could be improved, her response
was: "Less homework and more
spares." Her plans as yet are
not definite, although she hopes
to complete Grade 13, at least.
She has no main interests. in
particular, but as a spectator
enjoys school sports. Her fav-
orite subject is science. In her
opinion, "all the teachers are
nice." No doubt, by now you
have guessed that she is none
other than CHRISTIE DOBSON.
Next, our attention is focus-
ed on 9 -A's class rep. She is
another charming young lady
with lovely long auburn hair,
brown eyes and a pleasant "Hi!"
to greet you. She has many in-
terests. She plans to go all the
way to Grade 13 and then to
university. Her ambitions are
to be a physio -therapist (study-
ing human muscles) and to do
a bit of acting on the sideline.
This pretty miss doesn't limit
her activities to school -work,
Take a peek and you'll find her
on the Students' Council, the
volleyball team and the drama
club. In her mind, school can't'
be improved. She enjoys all
sports in and out of school. Her
favorite subjects are math, sci-
ence and French. Next time
you see her in the hall, please
say hello to MARY JENN Mc -
LEAN.

the next two downs to maintain
possession of the ball.
There are five scoring piays—
the touchdown (TD), worth 6
points; the convert, worth one;
the field goal, worth 3; the
rouge, worth 2; andthe safety
touch, worth one. For a touch-
down, the ball fllust be carried
over the goal -line, or a pass
completed across it. After a
touch -down, the scoring team
can get a convert by' kicking
the ball over the crosspiece
from the 15 -yard line. (The ball
may go no higher than the top
of the posts as it passes over
the crosspiece.) In a field goal,
the ball is kicked over the cross-
piece from anywhere on the
field. If the ball is kicked over
the goal -line and the defensive
team can not get it back, you
have a safety touch. If a player
carrying the ball runs back over
his own goal -line, and is held
there, the opposing team has a
rouge.
